the hollow depths of alone

there is a place that you go

where no one else can find you

and there it is you meet yourself

even amongst all of the broken fragments

and it will often not be for others

to understand

the necessity of this

to know exactly how

fullness can arise

from emptiness

which is why these things

are so rarely spoken of

so it makes perfect sense

for us to suffer all alone

hearts as heavy as stones

until the time comes for us to

rise again

casting off the dead weight

of broken dreams

we could only find a way to shed

through enduring the hollow depths

of alone
